The Scottish Learning Disabilities Observatory is partnering with the Scottish Commission for People with Learning Disabilities, Promoting a More Inclusive Society (PAMIS) and Down’s Syndrome Scotland on a new project called "This is Me: Valuing the lives of people with learning disabilities".
The project, led by IHW's Dr Deborah Kinnear, is about challenging the stigma, discrimination and inequalities experienced by people with learning disabilities.
We are collaborating with people with learning disabilities and their families to increase public awareness of the experiences of people with learning disabilities. Through a series of short films, we aim to challenge stigma and discrimination and influence positive change.
Watch and listen to IHW's Deborah Kinnear talking about #ThisIsMe22

This work has been funded by the University of Glasgow Knowledge Exchange (GKE) Fund. Please contact Fiona Barlow at the Scottish Learning Disabilities Observatory with any questions.
